- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.

Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 23 years old student in Paris. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

Ciao! I'm here to help you learn and enjoy Italian! 🇮🇹

Italian is a beautiful and expressive language, perfect for travel, culture, music, food—and connecting with people around the world. Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve, I’m here to guide you on your Italian journey.

I offer personalized lessons for all ages and levels:

🧒 Children: Help with homework, basic grammar, pronunciation, and school support
🧑‍🎓 Teens & Adults: Improve grammar, expand vocabulary, and build confidence in speaking through practical conversation and engaging topics
If you're a beginner, we’ll start with the basics—useful words and phrases, sentence structure, and pronunciation—so you can understand and use Italian from the start.

If you already speak some Italian, we’ll focus on conversation, fluency, and grammar practice tailored to your interests and goals—whether it’s preparing for a trip to Italy, passing an exam, or simply enjoying the language more confidently.

Let’s make learning Italian fun, engaging, and effective. I can't wait to meet you and help you reach your language goals!

Ciao! My name is Francesca, and I am a native Italian speaker with several years of experience teaching teenagers and adults. Whether you are learning Italian for travel, work, studies, or simply for pleasure, I can help you speak confidently and naturally.

Being a mother-tongue Italian means you will not only learn correct grammar, but also real, everyday Italian—the kind people actually use in conversations, movies, and daily life. I focus on pronunciation, fluency, and understanding how the language truly works, not just memorizing rules.

I have experience tutoring:
- Teenagers, supporting school programs and exams
- Adults, from beginners to advanced learners, including conversation and professional Italian

My lessons are always personalized. I adapt to your level, your goals, and your learning style. Some students want to speak for travel, others for work or relocation, and others simply for the joy of learning a beautiful language—and I build each lesson around that.

Learn Italian Through Italian Culture is a class designed for students who want to improve their Italian through songs, films, social phenomena, media, and everyday cultural references.
Instead of focusing only on grammar, we learn Italian by exploring how the language is actually used in real life.
You will learn vocabulary, expressions, and grammar in context, while discovering Italian culture and contemporary society. My goal is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed, adapting lessons to each level.
Absolute beginners are welcome; lessons are flexible, engaging, and tailored to your interests.
